It's actually kind of interesting how closely that process compares to what we're doing with ROMs on the PPC. There are lots of differences in the actual procedures used, but conceptually they are very similar.
So for inspiration, check out nlite (it may even spur you to customize your own windows installation... beware it is just as addicting as this is. I'm nowhere near hard-core and I've spent hours and hours customizing my XP CD).

Yes, I have used n-lite to slipstream stuff into windows XP, and some friends have used it to add all their programs to a base install of windows XP. Really works a lot like has been described here.
One thing though, why would we need the cleanup step? Wouldn't you want to leave the base stuff untouched? Why not instead of changing anything in the original base stuff we download, the program automatically creates a new folder along with our others, where it copies everything over as it is needed, that way the original stuff never gets touched. All that stuff should be read-only so nobody will screw it up and thus screw up their phone. Just a suggestion.
